Therapy is an investment. Therefore, it is important that you feel that the time in the therapy room is being used well. My goal is to meet you with clarity that makes you feel that we are quickly working on the problem you are facing.
At the start, we create a common understanding of what you want to address, then we create a common plan for how you can get where you want to be. The fact that we are focused does not mean that you should feel like you have to rush or perform. We work at your pace, and I will help you along the way with both emotional support and psychological expertise in understandable language.
While therapy is a collaboration, it should also be challenging. Without resistance, you risk leaving the room without taking anything new with you. That's why I will also challenge you when needed.
Maybe you're wondering if I'm the psychologist who can help you with exactly what you're facing?
I meet you with a broad background of experience and have worked with group therapy, therapy for couples, families, children and adults. I have experience from working at DPS, family welfare offices and private practice. Since 2018, I have supervised groups with care workers, psychologists and other professionals.
In addition, I have taught on how to establish good habits and developed and taught courses for social anxiety. I have further education in depth psychology from NKI, where I also sat on the education committee. Staying up to date is important to me, and I have started and run a reading group for psychodynamic psychology.
In addition to being a psychologist, I am a father of a young child, interested in music and have been involved in improv theatre a lot. The latter has taught me a lot about the importance of being present in the moment, focusing on listening and finding solutions to challenges that arise then and there.
